The Tumor Microenvironment
ISBN: 9781441966148 / Angielski / Twarda / 770 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The fact that tumors are composed of both tumor cells and host cells has long been known. These tumor-associated cells include vascular endothelial cells and pe- cytes, as well as inflammatory cells such as neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, mast cells and eosinophils, and lymphocytes. The tumor cells also interact with stromal cells and with elements of the tissue extracellular matrix. What has been less appreciated is the role that these cells could have in modulating the growth, invasion, and metastasis of the tumor. Early on, the elements of what we now call the tumor microenvironment...

The Human Oncogenic Viruses: Molecular Analysis and Diagnosis
ISBN: 9781461293934 / Angielski / Miękka / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The early, organ-specific diagnosis of malignancy continues to be a major unmet medical need. Clearly the ability to establish an early diagnosis of cancer is dependent upon an intimate knowledge of the cancer's biology, which if understood at the molecular level should identify key diagnostic and therapeutic manipulation points. Advances in recombinant gene technology have provided significant understanding of the mechanisms of action of oncogenic viruses, as well as of cancer-associated genomic sequences (onco genes). This text will explore the known molecular genetic, biolog ical, and...

Op-Ed on Cancer
ISBN: 9781452591926 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Instead, she argues that one must find calm and inner-peace first, in order to promote healing.
